Jeff's Favorite Banana Bread

Jeff Jackson and his wife Elizabeth are wonderful people, sweet friends and have the most precious family. They have four beautiful children (don’t tell the boys I said they are beautiful, but they are). During their married life they have seen medical miracles. Their story is one of great Faith. We serve at church together and I am grateful to have them in my life.
One Sunday morning I made this banana bread and Jeff loved it! He compared it to one of his friend’s Grandmother’s recipe. When he was on the road with a Christian band, she would send some along for the band and crew to enjoy. They loved it and all wanted  to take some home. I was honored by the comparison. Now it is one of my favorite things to make, especially for Jeff.
It is easy, super moist and yummy. Sometimes I make it in a loaf pan and sometimes cupcakes.
C’est Si bon!
